NIHR Clinical Research Facility: Sheffield
Since opening in September 2006, the NIHR Clinical Research Facility (CRF): Sheffield has developed fully documented systems and procedures as part of its Quality Control Strategy. All procedures comply with Trust and University policies including Clinical and Research Governance, Health and Safety, Infection Control, and Fire Safety.
The safety of our staff and research participants is of paramount importance.
A comprehensive directory of Standard Operating Procedures is available for use by all staff and users of the CRF.
The guidance document below is available to support staff in using accessibility features for CRF Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This document provides a clear, step-by-step process for having SOPs read aloud from PDF format, helping to improve accessibility and ease of use.
To find out more, see the 'How to have an SOP read aloud' document available here.
